jollygreengiant Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I recently purchased a 47 Windsor club coupe, I was trying to break down the vin # and the engine #. Anyway I am confused with the vin # it states it is 70713123 and is stamped with that number between the door. As I read the info on the vin numbers that number comes up as a 49 Chrysler. Am I missing something here ? The car has clear paperwork and the last owner had and drove the car on and off for 8 years. Pretty sure what you guys are going to say but I have to check.......... Thanks guys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Which one of these does it resemble? The first one is a 1947 and the second one is a 1949. The earlier series 1949 looked like the 1947. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollygreengiant Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I was looking on google, doesn't surprise me the info was wrong. I`ll bet someone entered a number wrong at a dmv at some point. Thanks Guys , I appreciate the input . I feel much better knowing the vin doesn't come up as a 49...... That would be problems. Thanks again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
